Power Raking and Lawn Fertilization in Brantford, ON
Two of the best ways for homeowners in the Brantford, ON area to transform their lawns are power raking and lawn fertilization. Power raking’s primary purpose is to remove thatch from a lawn (though we also offer power raking for artificial turf!). Thatch can include partially decomposed grass, leaves, nuts, flowers, and many other types of dead plant matter. If the thatch gets too thick it can cause bald spots, thin areas, and many other problems in your yard. This is because thatch forms a barrier between the soil and the water, nutrients, and air that a healthy lawn requires. It is also a perfect breeding ground for damaging lawn diseases, fungi, and mold.
If the thatch layer in your yard is more than ½ inch thick, you should consider having your lawn power raked. To check the thickness of your thatch, cut a section of grass so that you can see the layers of soil. The layer between the grass and the dirt is thatch. You might even be able to see grass that has rooted in the thatch - if so, our power rake lawn service is just what you need! Don't hesitate to call Brantford Landscaping HeyTurf for a free quote!

Why Choose Our Power Raking and Lawn Fertilization Services?
We recommend power raking your lawn in spring or early fall (check out this blog post for more seasonal lawn care tips!). If you have warm-season grass, then it is best to power rake in late spring or early summer. Power raking can cause a small amount of damage to healthy grass, so it is important to power rake when there is enough growing season left for your lawn to recover. For this reason, we try to do our power raking when there are at least 30 days left in the growing season to ensure ample recovery time.
Lawn fertilization is just as important as power raking, but it can be difficult to get right on your own. Fortunately, we are experts on Brantford, ON’s native grasses, soil quality, and growing conditions.
